On Tuesday, the UN Human Rights Office released a report detailing a wave of extrajudicial killings and brutal torture by Hamas militants and police in Gaza.
The report describes horrific methods including public executions, "kneecapping," and the systematic breaking of bones with metal pipes. These acts were reportedly carried out to suppress internal dissent and punish those suspected of theft or collaborating with Israel during the ongoing war. While the international community has focused on casualties from Israeli strikes, this data highlights the extreme levels of internal repression Hamas uses to maintain control over the enclave.
Human rights advocates are now calling for independent investigations into these atrocities as domestic stability in Gaza collapses.
